Kaito KA500 5-way Powered Solar Power,Dynamo Crank, Wind Up Emergency AM/FM/SW/NOAA Weather Alert Radio with Flashlight,Reading Lamp and Cellphone Charger, Yellow

Just a superb well designed radio, it just works and dose the job it was designed for really well indeed, the reception on all of the bands is exceptionally good-its up there with the very best receivers at a fraction of the price that one of those would cost , for me being a shortwave radio enthusiast this little radio is brilliant-it cover's all of the mainstream frequencies superbly, im able to listen to stations from all over the world even without an antenna extension-to be truthful i wasn't expecting it to be so good, sw1 i use at night for the American stations , sw2 for the European stations throughout the daytime it's just brilliant-and you can get them in a colour of your choice-there well made good quality and very sensitive, tune slowly and you will be rewarded, well worth the money, all in superb.

Got this for my uncle who lives in a city in Pakistan. Unfortuntely the have daily power cuts and he loves listening to the radio. What’s also needed is a torch. Well this is a two in one! To be able to power it up by winding it up is just what was needed. The feedback from my uncle has been really postive, he loves the radio - good reception and that in times when the power goes out he can continue to listen to it. Great device.

The media could not be loaded. The radio reception is absolutely fantastic!!! Compared to other cheaper emergencies radios I have, radio reception one Katio is the best one hands down.There are so many radio channels, yet they are all clear, we get them instantly without grizzly noises.It is so good you that if it it a song you like, because the reception is so clear and you can increase the sound you feel like dancing, this apart from classical, local radios etc.Lights-wise I have had just as good lighting with other more inexpensive radios if not better than this with this Kaito Voyager Radio.This Kaito radio has an SOS light but no SOS alarm unlike other emergency radios I have.Batteries wise, apart from the pre-installed rechargeable battery, there are 2 compartments, one for 1 AA Batterie, and another one for 2 AA Batteries.Unfortunately the compartment to insert 2 AA batteries does not seem big enough to hold them both. If you compare the length size of the AA compartment underneath for just the one battery, you can tell the compartment for the 2 AA batteries should be longer in length.As per my enclosed video when I put in one AA Battery on the the left side of the compartment and the other battery just next to the other battery, both batteries just fly off the compartment.After a while I tried to insert one battery starting from the right side of the compartment (which does not make sense but works eventually) and then inserted the next battery on its left, It may take one or a few takes but then they manage to stay inside. I then close the lid carefully.I chose this radio because unlike some other radios that only have an inbuilt rechargeable battery (what do we do if the only inbuilt rechargeable battery stops working?), this Kaito radio uses both AA batteries and a pre installed built-in rechargeable battery, so if the inbuilt rechargeable battery stops working we have a back up with AA batteries we can find everywhere at the moment.Unfortunately this Kaito radio has issues with it AA compartment and if it fails, it will be the same as other radios having only the inbuilt rechargeable battery.After charging the radio via its inbuilt rechargeable battery (with the AA Batteries compartment empty) the radio worked without the 3 AA batteries inside the radio.I like the fact this radio can also use solar, a dynamo crank handle and a USB cable to charge.I also love its nice range of colour you can choose from. I chose the deep red one.

Purchased for general use, and emergency’s good sound & reception easier to use than the digital version, the NOA is for use in the USA going there shortly, so will be used, & with the blackouts in Europe recently would highly recommend.

I bought 2 units1st 2 lost by carriers. Instant replacements dispatched and arrived in 48hrs. no quibbles.Works well. Well constructed & good functions.EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH THROUGHOUTI would recommend buying from this supplier.

We found it this radio has been more than just a radio as it has a torch. It has everything that we need so it’s awesome and you can watch when your power bank is down. You can hand crank charge it which is even better so you don’t have to use your bank it’s pretty cool.

I use this radio all the time in the kitchen, it does everything it says it does. Battery life is amazing, havent needed to charge it yet and ive been using it alot

But hard to get channels in
